    We just discovered this gem of a restaurant with exceptional Thai food. My husband and I both really thought it was terrific. It’s a lovely old pub with great pub food, with a side twist of Thai on the menu. Everything was so fresh and perfectly prepared. Well done to the chef and the staff. The service was great. We will be back soonest!
